Allot of unused sounds in Voices.WAD

[SilentRage]

(I know, pointless topic. Whatever.)

Has anybody else gone through this file?

There's allot of unused voices like "Are you sure you want to exit the game? The front needs you!" and even voices from basic peasants like "Don't hurt me, I don't know anything...".

Makes you wonder why they never used them, in-game.



Edit: Like PPP01A-PP07A. They're the exact lines said by the peasants in the prison. I'm pretty sure that PPP08 is unused.

Not that difficult for the prisoned peasents to talk. You just have to modify the original conversation scripts and you'll be able to hear 'em talk. Although all the unused sounds does being a small additional charm.

So are these truly unused, or just unused in ZDoom?

[leileilol]

probably in pre-1.0 versions no doubt. Even 1.0 had sounds that would go unused in later versions.

The problem with the quit sound is that one could spam f10+n over and over and fill up the sound channels and such

I like the sound entries DSPSDTHB and DSPSDTHC in strife1.wad

Why are there Doom zombie sounds in Strife?

[TheDarkArchon]

Probablly leftovers from whatever Doom IWAD they based it on.

Ahaha, nice discovery! I'm actually tempted to screw with Strife's scripting a bit to add in all the unused lines. There's quite a few interesting ones here.

"You gotta break a few eggs to kill everybody! ...or something."

These ones were Strife's exit sounds. Strife.exe uses them but ZDoom doesn't because playing them would require keeping the exe from terminating which is an undesirable effect.

Well, if people REALLY don't wanna wait through, I think there's a magical button combo named 'Alt+F4' which instantly quits GZD/ZD.

Works for me. (TM)

Why not just play those sounds when it asks if you want to exit?
